Time for a Blogger Friend School Assignment! Here is this week's:
.
There are lots of windows in our lives, i.e., window of our soul, closed windows and open windows that God has for our lives, there's what some people call their, "window of opportunity", and there's "eyes are the window to our soul". The assignment is to take a picture, if you're able, find a graphic if you can, and write about your favorite window in your home or the one you look out of when you have those 'daydreaming' moments.
.
I'd have to say that my favorite window in the house is one that we got second hand. It's from the log house next door to us, where my parents used to live. This was the big window in their den that faced out onto the lake. They watched sunrises and moonrises through that window, bald eagles fishing, flocks of sandhill cranes flying over, and once a big buck (deer) swimming across the lake - his antlers glistening in the sun. At night, little green frogs with suction cup toes would decorate each of the panes.
.
Naturally, the day I saw that window leaning against a tree where the remodelers had placed it before (I assume) taking it over to the dumpster, I jumped at the chance to ask for it. And, generously, the new owners gave it to us!
.
The big old window now lives in our rec. room, facing in a different direction. These days we watch sunsets, horses grazing, and hawks hunting for field mice through it. And, yes, those tiny, green, sticky-toed frogs still fancy those little window panes at night.

with the precious dew from heaven above..."
